MMS, MHS Scientists to Present Projects at UC Science Fair

Posted on 02/15/2017

On March 11, 55Mason City Schools students will present their projects during the 13th Annual UC Science and Engineering Expo. Students from school districts across southwest Ohio will present at this event for scholarships and other awards. Mason Middle School and Mason High School students who earned a superior rating at the January 26 Mason ScienceFair are eligible to attend the UC fair.

A “superior” is the best rating a student can get on a project and eight students received a perfect score of 40, including Laalitya Acharya, Hritika Kotian, Arnav Mantro, Rishi Mehta, Snehal Mishra, Sanchita Parathaman, Akul Rajan, and Sreeram Venkatarao. One team project received a perfect score of 50, which included Yuv Sachdeva and Amey Haridhas.

Competing in the ScienceFair requires plenty of time and commitment from students, and many have been working on their projects since the beginning of September.

"The middle school science department is so proud of all of our students who competed in the fair. Each student took a passion for science and learning to a new level. They took risks and pushed the boundaries of their knowledge to take massive steps forward. We are so proud of them," said JayReutter, MMS Science Fair Coordinator.

"These talented students dedicate time and hard work to produce top notch science fair projects and anyone supporting students in this challenging yet rewarding process should be thanked," shared MHS Science Fair Coordinator Karen Young. "Congratulations to the students who stay committed and work hard to get a project to completion within the short time frame, but also high quality projects even while many are balancing upper-level coursework and participating in other extra-curricular activities."
